Where to Find Your Favorite — and Fallen — Game of Thrones Stars Next

Cope with Game of Thrones withdrawal with this guide to what's next for your favorite characters, like Robb and Catelyn Stark.

First and foremost, spoilers ahead. Second, let us have a moment of silence for our fallen brethren on season three of Game of Thrones. In case it hasn't yet sunk in, this is a show where you can't get attached to anyone, because he or she will most likely meet an untimely demise in another character's power play for the Iron Throne. Last night's season finale may have felt slightly less eventful than "The Rains of Castamere," but that's okay, because we're all still trying to recover from the Red Wedding and its massive carnage.

Now that season three is over, though, where can we get our fix of Starks, Lannisters, Greyjoys, and wildlings? We'll see some of them again in season four, which — ugh — doesn't even start filming until July, but here's a handy guide to finding your favorite Thrones characters in the off-season — the head-cut-off season (too soon?).

The King of the North is unfortunately gone for good, which means there's a bit less eye candy on the show and one less dire wolf in all of our lives. Richard Madden's time on GoT may be over, but he's already got his next two projects lined up: He'll play Prince Charming (obviously) in a live-action version of Cinderella, and headline a Discovery Channel miniseries called Klondike about nineteenth-century miners searching for gold in the Yukon territories. Until those come out, though, we'll just have to make do with YouTube clips like this one where he speaks in his native Scottish accent because swoon.

Catelyn Stark had one of the most tragic journeys on GoT: Her husband was beheaded, one daughter was being held hostage by the Lannisters, and she thought the rest of her children were dead. Things are looking brighter for Michelle Fairley in real life, though. She's already filmed a recurring role on Suits, where she'll play Ava Hessington, a British entrepreneur who runs an international oil company. The new season premieres July 16 on USA.

Although I'm still upset with Jon Snow for completely abandoning Ygritte when she needed him most (he really does know nothing), I still don't want our tried-and-true man of the Night's Watch to die like his half-brother Robb. Who would protect Westeros from the white walkers with the rest of the crows? Luckily, Kit Harington will be back for season four, and he's using the hiatus to star in three big-budget movies: Seventh Son (which hits theaters this October), Pompeii (February 2014), and How to Train Your Dragon 2 (June 2014).

Poor, dismembered Theon was last seen praying for death, and his father was more than happy to cut his losses now that the younger Greyjoy can never provide him with an heir. Luckily (or unluckily, given the loss of his favorite toy), his sister is coming to the rescue. In the meantime, Alfie Allen is filming Plastic, which does not yet have a US release date. Fun fact: He's British singer Lily Allen's younger brother.

It was quite the big weekend for Lena Headey. Not only was her character, Cersei Lannister, reunited with the father of her children (and twin brother) in the final moments of season three, her new movie, The Purge was a surprise hit at the box office. And this summer, she's starring in The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, another film adaptation of a fantasy series with a rabid fan base. Hey, if the formula works, it works.

Real-life Disney prince Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (don't let the above picture fool you, this man is hot) is currently filming The Other Woman, which has the most interesting and random cast of all time. Leslie Mann, Cameron Diaz, Kate Upton, Don Johnson, and Nicki Minaj all co-star with the Kingslayer.

Mother of dragons — and now "mother" of an entire people — Daenerys Targaryen will clearly play a pivotal role in season four as she resumes her quest to sit atop the Iron Throne. In the meantime, Emilia Clarke will make her major film debut in James Franco's next directorial project, The Garden of Last Days, in which Franco will also star. She'll also appear in the second-to-last episode of Futurama.
